Diversity affects microclimate temperature and humidity: an overview of the evidence and major unanswered questions

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Climate change is increasing global temperatures, increasing atmospheric drying, and driving more severe and frequent drought. Plants can cool and humidify microclimates through sensible and latent heat exchange. Higher diversity plant communities can modify microclimates more strongly than lower diversity plant communities, creating the ...

Ecology and ecophysiology of subantarctic Campbell Island megaherbs : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Science in Ecology at Massey University [PDF]

, 2000
The megaherb growth form is not common in the New Zealand flora; yet it is a distinctive feature of the flora of New Zealand's subantarctic islands, such as Campbell Island (52°33'S. 169°09'E).

Dietary Spirulina platensis mitigates fenitrothion-induced growth retardation, hematotoxicity and immune-oxidative stress in striped catfish

Journal of Agriculture and Food Research
Fenitrothion is a commonly used pesticide to eradicate pests in aquaculture ponds. However, it exerts toxic effects on non-target biota, including fish. The microalga (Spirulina platensis) may alleviate fenitrothion-mediated toxicity in fish.

All about the marine/sea ice diatom Nitzschia lecointei [PDF]

, 2018
Generally, in terms of growth N. lecointei seems quite tolerant to changes in pH and pCO2, probably due to the fact that this species grows in an environment with large seasonal variations in the carbonate system.

Metacaspases contribute to the cellular response to heat stress in a marine diatom

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Climate‐driven marine heatwaves (HW) are extreme, large‐scale events characterized by elevated ocean temperatures lasting from days to months. Despite their importance, little is known about the molecular mechanisms of algal response to marine HW. Recent studies suggest that metacaspases play an important role in thermotolerance.

Divergent drivers of leaf trait variation within species, among species, and among functional groups. [PDF]

, 2018
Understanding variation in leaf functional traits-including rates of photosynthesis and respiration and concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus-is a fundamental challenge in plant ecophysiology. When expressed per unit leaf area, these traits typically

Phage Display Derived Antibodies Against Antimicrobial Peptide FsPDF2 Reveal Stress Response in European Beech

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant defensins (PDFs) are cysteine‐rich antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) that are important components of plant immunity. They occur constitutively in various plant tissues but are also upregulated upon stress. Therefore, these molecules are of great interest as markers for the diagnosis of early forest stress response in plants at the molecular

Analysis of phenotypic plasticity in response to water constraints in coffee plants growing under field conditions [PDF]

, 2008
In a context of climate change, adaptation of perennial plantations to water constraints becomes a major concern for wood and fruit productivity. Adaptation depends on the level of genetic diversity in breeding and natural populations, as well as their ...
